Cement is used to bind concrete, the most-used construction material in the world and a significant source of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Its manufacturing contributes as much as 8 percent of the ...

The rotary kilns in cement plants are heated to a scorching 1,400 degrees Celsius to burn ground limestone down to clinker, the raw material for ready-to-use cement. Unsurprisingly, such temperatures ...

Concrete reabsorbs some of its carbon emissions over time. Alternative ingredients and 3D printing could help supercharge that by making the finished concrete more porous.

Researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras have developed a structured model to help in the production of bio-cement, which is an alternative sustainable process for cementation. It ...

A new study shows how digital building models can be used to pinpoint where carbon emissions occur across a building’s entire ...

The cement industry faces significant challenges in its journey towards sustainability, grappling with environmental, economic, and social complexities. One of the foremost hurdles is the industry’s ...

Among major industrial polluters, cement is one of the ‘hard to abate’ industries as carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are an inescapable output in the production of clinker from coal, releasing at ...
